 NB! This is a secondary server, the main development repository is at control. The intention is, however, to keep them in sync.
 
+Labcomm is a suite of language, compiler and libraries for in-band self-describing communication.
+
+### Requirements
+
+#### The labcomm compiler
+
+Building the labcomm compiler requires  a Java SDK and ant.
+
+#### The labcomm libraries
+
+The libraries are built using make and
+
+* Java (5,6,...)
+* Python (ver?)
+* C (gcc ver? for linker scripts)
+* C#: (tested with mono mcs ver?)
+
 ### Applications
 
 * The development of a higher-level, bidirectional, communication layer on top of Labcomm is done in [Firefly](http://git.cs.lth.se/robotlab/firefly)
